It would be his only realistic chance of getting to 300 NRL games (is a chance), otherwise if he is suspended the 300 is probably unlikely.
It could also impact future game selections as Fitz might have the 300 in the back of his mind when selecting Wade, but if he definitely cannot get there then a 50/50 selection decision involving Wade might go against him.
Wade could still get there of course but only if the old Wade shows up this season.
He might even then get offered another 1 year extension (I wouldn’t mind this scenario as the old Wade would be very very beneficial for us - a win/win)
